Generic drugs are lower cost alternatives to the brand name product that are required to be an exact copy and identical in every significant way to brand version (quality, dosage/strength, performance/effect, the route of administration, intended use, etc). They are produced when the patent on the branded product has expired usually in developing countries where labour, raw material, taxation and production costs are much lower which allows international mail-order pharmacies like QualityGenerics sell these at a large discount.
